@Caryn: you mean there's a chance Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, might not have had it's name arise naturally? I always thought it might have been a desert Buddhist thing...

@Caryn: It's like the full name of Los Angeles (or Bangkok-Krung Thep for that matter). Fairly easy to take the full "founding story" of a place and spell it out, though places that are visited frequently (L-A, Bang-kok) can't afford stunts like that.

I'd love to hear Prince Charles and the City Beat band do "Cash Money"

Obscure places have more incentive to stretch it out, but I'd hate to see a "long toponym arms race"--it would make even short journeys intolerable!

Far-out space from Romania! Since it's instrumental, probably there were no hassles from the Stalinoids. [?]

@Sem: Before I found out about the TV show and the town's publicity stunt, I saw the town on a map and actually did think it had something to do with, perhaps a treacherous section of the Rio Grande!

When the 50% level comes, the traffic jam should jump up another notch on the main WFMU page. Will Governor Christie will appear at some point? One way to find out!

The only words I know in Maori are "whahanu", "Kia ora" and "taika waititi". And one of these is a person's name.

Ahhh, the Prize Warehouse! A great attic of past premiums! For me there are so many great/inspiring DJ premiums every year, I'd have to be far richer to get *every* one I want! But pledge at least a Mouse ($365) every year, and you get a second chance to grab those premiums! My favorite warehouse super store!

You're fine, LovecraftDude! If you want to be more ninja-like, Rev. Turnip Druid is a fine example. Stealth, unpredictable messages ("waffles!"), just the right emphasis for any situation. Except that you can also summon him by any mention of "beer". ;)

@DCE: I'm borderline OCD myself, though for music completism I alternate between obsess/neglect.

e.g. I thought of the classic clip doco "The Atomic Cafe" the other day, and realized that I *think* my Dad got me that for a Xmas/Bday. But I didn't watch right away and it slipped out of mind. Now I'm trying to locate it to see if that is the case...

i watched Atomic Cafe a number of times years ago it was always on cable at some point. Soooo sick. As a kid on LI in 70s we still did the nuke hallway drills!!!

I just hit 50% on my pledge budget - does that count for anything?

And THAT was the time Irwin performed Amanda's "Worship Me"! With Ira on sax, and X.Ray Burns shirtlessly throbbing his gut! Only folks like us would call that "beautiful", but that was pretty damn beautiful! :D
